Custom Panels

[fixxorion]

Hi all!

I'm trying to create my own custom panel at the moment, but I don't know how to access data from my own panel. For instance, I have a button and a text field. As a test, I would like to have the button display a message box showing the value inside the text field. However, I don't know how to access the value inside the text field. Any ideas on how to get it?

Thanks,

Use $V. For example, in the script for your input field, use "message $V".

Use $V. For example, in the script for your input field, use "message $V".

So in order to have a button query the value of a checkbox.....

Have the checkbox set an env. variable. setenv myCheckBox = $V

Then in the button you would have

message $myCheckBox

Is this the right direction?

Better yet....I'll buy you a Coke if you can get the cuquery() expression to work.

That certainly did work! However, you've got me really curious about the cuquery() function. It seems like it should work. Something on the lines of:

message `cuquery(panel1, myInputField.val)`

Any other suggestions?

Thanks for all the help,

hm...I seem to have figured it out. In the inputfield's command I put the following:

cuset -p panel1 -n myInputField.val -v $V

And in the button's command I put:

message `cuquery(panel1, myInputField.val)`

It seems strange that I would need to update the value, but it wouldn't work otherwise. Hope this helps someone else out!

Later,
